And the Tottenham striker revealed he has hired a personal chef to make sure he stays in peak condition and never suffers a scoring famine.

England captain Kane insists it has made a huge difference in keeping him fresh amid a hectic fixture list and with the World Cup finals clock ticking.

“I have a chef at home to eat the right food, helping recovery,” said the Spurs and Three Lions goal-machine, who has scored 11 times in his last six appearances. “You can’t train as hard as you’d like when you have so many games, so you have to make the little gains elsewhere, like with food.

“That will help me going into a ­tournament year, with my body and my recovery. I started doing that on January 1, a New Year’s resolution.

“I met the guy in December. I’d rather not say his name. He wasn’t a Spurs fan. He is now.

“He’s there every day, Monday to Saturday, and leaves it in the fridge. I hardly ever see him, because I’m at training, but he’ll cook the food and leave it in the fridge.

“We’ve a good plan going and it seems to be working.

“I’ve changed a lot off the pitch with the nutrition side of it. It kind of clicked in my head that a football ­career is so short. It goes so quickly you have to make every day count.”

Kane, 24, admits his guilty pleasure is “apple crumble”, but that is about as wild as it gets for the Tottenham star.

There is no chance of him burning the candle at both ends, and he does not drink during the season.

While Manchester City's Sergio Aguero flew to ­Amsterdam on his day off to attend a concert – and was left with a broken rib when his taxi subsequently crashed – Golden Boot race rival Kane is happy to stay at home with fiancée Kate and their baby.

“Of course when you’re playing ­Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday there’s not a lot of time to train, so it’s about making those little gains in other ways: ice baths, stretching, nutrition that keeps as you as fresh as you can be,” he said.

“It’s a big part of football nowadays. Other players are doing the same thing. My career has gone so quick already, I want to make the most of it.”

The Spurs star admitted he would not have done what Aguero did – “every person is different” – adding: “I can’t say whether it was right or wrong. It was unfortunate.”

Kane will lead England against Slovenia at Wembley on Thursday night, and it is easy to see why he is likely to have the job next summer in Russia.

He is focused, a great role model and always thinking about how he can improve as a player.

Former Three Lions captain Alan Shearer – a player Kane looks up to – visited St George’s Park on Tuesday and gave a pep talk to the squad.

Kane stressed he was “very happy” at Spurs when quizzed on claims Real Madrid might bid for him.

Asked about his chance of beating Shearer’s record of 260 Premier League goals, he said: “He carried on doing it for years and years. It’s not something I think about.

“I’m still only on 84 goals or so in the Premier League. A lot can happen.

“Each season I say it would be great to get to that 100 club and go on from there.”
